To do so with a minimum of errors helps you to appear educated, competent, and trustworthy, all of which will be to your benefit.
Guidelines for Text Selection
The text for this exercise must be chosen from the Opinion section of the New York Times (either in print or online), including pieces by columnists, editorials, op-ed and Opinionator pieces, pieces from the Sunday Review, pieces from Taking Note, Topics pieces, and videos, but excluding letters to the editor. The text must be recent; its publication date may not be earlier than 23 February 2014. Students are strongly encouraged to discuss their selections with the instructor to ensure that they are treating texts of sufficient heft and content to bear sustained analysis and that they are asserting a thesis appropriately responsive to the assignment. Students desiring to treat other texts may petition the instructor in that regard; decisions regarding alternative texts will be made on a case-by-case basis, but analyses of texts not from the Opinion section of the New York Times and not approved by the instructor are subject to summary failure.
Submission Guidelines
Drafts for early review are due in advance of the submission draft, so that problems in the profiles may be addressed and strengths enhanced. A hard-copy, typed version of the draft is due at the beginning of class on 7 March 2014 so that it may be reviewed during class time by a classmate; it will be taken as a 10-point minor assignment. An online version must be submitted to the instructor as a .doc, .docx, or .rtf document via D2L before the beginning of class time on 14 March 2014; it will also be taken as a 10-point minor assignment. Both drafts will benefit from being completed or nearly-completed papers; the more work done in advance, the more commentary is possible, and the more use you can derive from those comments. Please be sure to take the comments on early drafts seriously and correct problems in the text as it appears in those early drafts, as it is only in those drafts that revision is possible.
